Iconaster uchelbeluuensis
status

 

A greater number of apomorphic changes is present among the species within Iconaster View in CoL relative to Glyphodiscus ( Fig. 6 View FIG ), suggesting character evolution associated with shallow water habitation, as has been suggested by Jablonski & Bottjer (1988: 86). For example, glassy tubercles (characters 4, 9, 10, 16) are present on abactinal and actinal surfaces of I. elegans , disk and marginal plate surfaces of I. longimanus and I. uchelbeluuensis n. sp.
